Sarane #[nn]
This collection brings together the complete story of Sarane, a German graphic novel series originally published in 2011 by Schreiber & Leser. The narrative follows the titular character through a dark, fantastical world, blending elements of folklore and personal struggle in a visually striking style.
In "Sarane," a poignant 2011 story by Lax, Resel Rebiersch, and Lax, an 85-year-old woman on a taxi ride in modern times is unexpectedly reminded of a long-forgotten chapter from her youth in 1920s Senegal. Through quiet, evocative flashbacks, we learn of a desert accident in the Sahara, a rescue by Tuareg people, and a fleeting, profound connection with a man named Khegh—separated from her husband, a French army captain, by war and circumstance. The story unfolds with a restrained, lyrical grace, its emotional depth rendered in Lax’s distinctive artwork and coloring.
